Phoenix Wright Cosplay Hat - Prototype Hat Available NOW

Image
UPDATE 2/6/23: I no longer stock these hats. I will make them custom though and I no longer make them this way. I now make them solid blue and duplicate stitch on the lettering.  If you're interested in a custom order, head to my Etsy page to see my commission status. It will be in the announcement at the top!  Who buys knitwear out of season? Cosplayers do. Why didn't I think of this sooner? I whipped up a prototype of Phoenix Wright's 'Papa' beanie from Ace Attorney and I've got plans for a few other con-season hats as well. I'm working on so many things, guys. I must confess that I'm not terribly familiar with the Ace Attorney series. Despite my love of television law dramas, I'm not sure "visual novel legal thriller" is a genre that I would enjoy in the video game realm. I like my video games to be filled with sex and violence. Boobs and explosions. Persistent gore always toggled on. You know. To each their own though. I also enjoy ...

WIP Wednesday - Double-Knit Bigfeet and More!

Image
UPDATE 2/5/23: I bet people would be into the reversible bigfoot hats if I made more of them. Double-knitting though. I love it and also hate it. I might whip up one or two...maaaaaybe. Check the shop ! I'm working on a lot of oddball stuff and I've finished up a lot of oddball stuff the last few days. So here goes...this isn't quite a normal WIP Wednesday post because I just finished up a bunch of stuff then started on a bunch of new stuff. Yeah. Anyway. My brains. Reversible Bigfeet I finished up a child-size as well as a normal adult size (yes, I'm going to update the pattern, I promise!). Here's a look at the adult-size when it was still a WIP. I'm currently working on another one that is a blue and purple ombre instead of pink, but I've done so little it's not worth me taking a picture. My ombre yarn is Bernat Handicrafter Cotton , which I would use for everything I do ever if it were economically feasible. lolol Reversible Metallic Silver ...

WIP Wednesday - Double-Knit Bigfeets and A Yarn Review

Image
UPDATE 2/4/23: The free entire bigfoot hat knitting pattern is here , including suggestions for double-knitting it.   I'll be doing a shop update with bigfoot hats on March 1st! It may or may not include double-knit ones.    I've been meaning to get around to double-knitting a bigfoot hat. I finally - actually - did manage to get started. I had a bunch of leftover Paton's Metallic , which I bought for another project a while back and I decided to put it to use (I'll share said project one day when I think about it and decide to pull it out).  Paton's Metallic: I Hate You Let me ramble a bit about this yarn. Yeah, it looks neat, but I absolutely hate working with it. It is definitely not my favorite. I think it would be fine for crochet, but I'm continually losing my mind knitting with it. There's also a chance I'm just incompetent, but that aside... (I might totally crochet some stuff with crocodile stitch with what I end up having leftov...

UPDATE 2/4/23: The below commentary is still very true when it comes to commissions! Also, if you have stumbled here by some weird twist of fate and you were looking for these patterns, then let me assist you:  FREE Littlefinger's Mockingbird Pin Chart   FREE Star Trek Starfleet Insignia Chart   If you'd like to see my current inventory or commission status then head to my Etsy . You might also be interested in checking out my Ko-Fi page ! Facebook for the latest updates! Have I mentioned how much I love love LOVE when people ask me, "Can you make a ____?" It gives me an excuse to make new colorwork charts and take a little break from making bigfoot hats! ;) Last week, I had a friend ask me if I could make a Littlefinger-inspired scarf. Then I had another friend ask for a scarf with the Starfleet insignia. I got to work on both of these scarves over the weekend and I'll be finishing up the Littlefinger scarf today! Both of my pals gave me a fair amount of a...
